Terrible Crime

You got plenty of money
In a suitcase chained to your wrist
I thought it was funny
When you said that we should do the deed
On the dancefloor at the Ritz
I haven’t loved you in a very long time
It’s just a question of ego
I’m gonna make you wish
That you’d never let me go
I’m not gonna call you
And hang up the line
There are others in your life
That do this all of the time
I’m gonna build a brick wall of silence
Never speak a word of violence
I’m gonna make you wish that leaving me
Was a terrible crime
You got a pessimistic nature
Don’t go walking after midnight
By the cliff
No stranger to danger
Step away from the precipice
I haven’t loved you in a very long time
Just a question of ego
I’m gonna make you wish
That you’d never let me go
I’m not gonna call you
And hang up the line
There are others in your life
Oh they do this all of the time
I’m gonna build a brick wall of silence
Never speak a word of violence
I’m gonna make you wish leaving me
Was a terrible crime
It was a terrible crime (yeah, yeah)
Terrible crime
You do it all the time (oh yeah)
You know you make me spit
Was a terrible crime
You do it all the time
It was a terrible crime (ad lib)

Shark Attack

There’s something in the water
But I don’t know what it is
There’s a shadow in the shallows
Hallowed be thy fabled teeth
Life jacket, rubber ring
These are a few of my favourite things (s.o.s, s.o.s)
The night is so young
Everybody wanna jump into the water
Wake up from cabin fever
O revelation
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
Here comes the shark attack
Everybody gotta get out of the ocean
Run to the beach, stay out of reach
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
Here comes the shark attack
Everybody gotta get out of the ocean
Never going back
And I can’t fully fathom
How I’m ever gonna get
To the bottom of all this
I got my sea legs
Just trying to stay afloat
While all the serpents’ hiss (s.o.s, s.o.s)
“The night is still young!”
These are the words of John the Revelator
“Wake up! Take your time!”
The end is always near
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
Here comes the shark attack
Everybody gotta get out of the ocean
Run to the beach, stay out of reach
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
Here comes the shark attack
Everybody gotta get out of the ocean
Never going back
O revelation
Never going back
O revelation
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
O revelation
Here comes the shark attack
O revelation
Ha - ha - hyperventilation
Here comes the shark attack
